Why wouldn't they think we're all stupid? We're* the ones who've kept the fuckers in power for the past 12 years and gave them a stonking majority at the last electiondespite them having well known, dishonest, fuckwit at the helm.

*the British public not us individually

"So where might we see real terms cuts to public spending?

Defence - James Heappey said both he and Ben Wallace would resign if defence spending target of 3% of GDP by 2030 isn’t met.

Pensions - impossible to see Tory MPs vote to abandon triple lock.

That leaves the NHS."

It leaves the NHS and education and social care and infrastructure and and and...

Heaven forbid Wallace should resign - the Conservatives would lose their one broadly popular Cabinet member.

Lots of people didn't vote for this though
Even those who did in 2019 must be feeling short changed

A w-turn?

I don't know if that's a thing, but if it isn't yet then Truss is certainly the right person to invent it.

I think they'll protect the price cap for energy when the time comes.

They've gone for April because Labour originally said 6 months so they can say "but Labour ...." and also because it will calm the markets for now as it isn't a 2 year spending guarantee.

I can't see how they can think raising it that much will be any good for people and not cause more of a recession when peoples mortgages have risen beyond expectations.

People won't have any money for the economy to grow and businesses won't invest with no energy guarantee.

Did you hear Truss saying to Chris Mason this morning "I am an honest person."
Eh?
So honest that she cheated on her husband for 18 months.

I listened to her interview this morning on my phone so I could not see her face
The whole interview was pure fantasy and yes, about as honest as Del Boy without the laughs
Anyone who can have an extra marital affair for 18 months isn't a trustworthy person at all (and I know I sound judgy here. )
She couldn't deliver a letter

"Suella Braverman: “I’m afraid it’s the Labour Party, it’s the Lib Dems, it’s the Coalition of chaos, it’s the Guardian-reading, Tofu-eating, wokerati - dare I say the anti-growth coalition that we have to thank for the disruption we are seeing on our roads today!”

🙄

Braverman still plugging away on her pre emotive leadership campaign.

“It’s everyone but us. Nobody loves us, everybody hates us, I think we’ll go and eat worms!”

Liz to Mr Brady yesterday . 'That Mr Hunt ate my homework Sir !'
Hmmm 🤔

I couldn't date, nevermind marry, a Tory who had Tory friends.

Sky understands that Graham Brady met Jeremy Hunt today.

Treasury sources say it was just a routine meeting for Graham to brief Jeremy ahead of his 1922 meeting tomorrow.

Yesterday's Brady-Truss meeting was presented as routine as well

Interestingly, immediately👇 a source who would know gets in touch to say they've don't know of examples of the 1922 chair briefing a cabinet minister before the 1922 meeting ...

The whole point is for questions to be taken and chaired - nothing to prepare Ministers for .... 👀

Yvonne Cooper’s on fire!

The NHS's own finance chief had this key slide in a presentation earlier this month.

The green line ought to worry Tory MPs defending their record on funding.

twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/1582442270824898561?s=46&t=3XCcXeAnDf_6feIhqS0jnw

And his summary of NHS austerity in the 2010s was most withering of all:
“10 years of funding significantly below the level of the historic trend rate of growth in health spending…meant that we went into the pandemic with little or no resilience".

Tell us something we didn't know.

Glued themselves under the desk 😁

I would laugh, sadly, I'm really struggling to find any humour in the situation. I just feel sad, let down, disappointed and ignored.

It was a good speech by Yvette Cooper though.

New:

Liz Truss has rehired David Canzini, the Boris Johnson aide beloved of the Tory right. He will be "helping the prime minister" - unclear what his job title is.

ERG leaders say they're delighted by the move.

Which parties did he go to?

Mark Drakeford expressed his feelings very clearly in the Senned today. Spoke for many, certainly spoke for me. Can't do a link but is on all media.

Will someone keep an eye on the post count, only 30 to go and I'm on a phone, it's so fiddly to start a new thread on one

And I'm useless at good thread titles. As I'm away these threads are a lifeline telling me what's going on!

There you go:

Funny how Brexit doesn't get mentioned by the Tories. I thought the UK would be rolling in the dosh by now.

Canzini is Lynton Crosby's protege. Right wing nut. Johnson employed him for a while. The EEG will be thrilled. He's right up their alley - wedge politics and culture wars. Expect more drivel about Tofu, podcasts and reemergence of war on woke.

He criticised the women MPs for "telling tales" on Neil Parish.

The Times did a profile -

Canzini bolstered the determination of Liz Truss, the foreign secretary, to act unilaterally over the Northern Ireland protocoll_. He is said to be “of the same mind” as Truss, according to one source close to both. His hardline approach led to accusations from some in No 10 that he is a “knuckle-headed Brexiteer”.
Others are even more blunt, recoiling from his blunt focus on winning and disdain for political niceties, which they worry will revive the Tories’ “nasty party” image.
